Idea Designer: Pt. 2 Example Usage

Fast File Finder – Ideayay Example Usage

User wants to create a local file search program.

User already has worked out a GUI in a file.

User creates idea: “Fast File Finder”
Ideayay creates a folder “Fast File Finder” and sets its status to “Just started”

User creates question: “What GUI?” and links earlier mentioned file to this as answer.
Ideayay asks if that completely answers the question, user says yes, Ideayay marks this question as answered.

User creates the problem: “How to index all files on a PC?”.
Then goes on the internet to look it up and stores some links as attachments to that problem.
Then writes code using the attachments and links that (the sourcecode file) as solution for the problem.
Ideayay asks if that completely solves the problem, user says yes, Ideayay marks this problem solved.

User creates the problem: “How to quickly search through strings?”.
He posts the problem to a forum and links the URL as attachment to the problem.
The solution is found on the forum and he copies the text containing the solution as “Solution” to the problem.
Ideayay creates a file: problemname.answer.txt and metadata.
Ideayay asks if that completely solves the problem, user says yes, Ideayay marks this problem solved.

User links final source files to the idea itself and marks the idea finished.

That’ll do. The program’s name is. Ideayay. It was the worst name I could think of that’d surely piss off my partner. I was not wrong. Hehe.

We are going FAST with this one. Our SVN server definitely has an headache trying to keep up with the commits and updates and merges.

Idea Designer

I wondered if there was any software for working out ideas. I couldn’t find any, so I decided to try and create my own. The software will act as an idea dump. Say I have this idea, but don’t have the time to work it out. I used to have a small document with the name and a small description, but when I found something related to that idea say, on the internet, I could only paste the link inside that file and later on I’d forget about it anyway. I want one central place for all my ideas! And it’s coming pretty soon.

Less ideas in the mind makes room for more new ideas! Woeii.

You’ll the the software draft up here in a few days.
